Answer:
O, that I were a man for his sake! Or that I had any friend would be a man for my sake! But manhood is melted into curtsies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too. He is now as vallient as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it.

Answer:
D. Barry's band perform for a group of paying customers every time they play at Filits.
Explanation:
The tricky thing with words such as "band", "team", "jury" etc. is determining whether they are singular or plural.
Basically, the rule is that when we talk about the group of people, as a whole, we use singular form, but when we talk about the members of the group we use plural form.
Sentences A. and B. are correct; "Barry plays/feels...", "The name comes..." all use correct verb forms regarding the subject.
Sentence C. in the first part uses "The band is called..." and then "They have been...". This might seem wrong, but it actually isn't. In the first part, the band refers to the group, meaning it's singular. In the second part "they" refers to the band members, which should be plural.
Ssntence D. uses the band as the group, but uses the inadequate verb form - perform instead of performs.
The correct answer is D. The common people in the United States give the nation its vitality.
When Whitman says, "<em>Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people" </em>he means that the common people or the majority in the US (middle class) enrich the nation. While in other countries, the upper classes have the most vitality, the same is not true for the United States. Option A, B and C are incorrect because they claim that the wealthy upper class and/or people from other countries have the most vitality.
